Oh my, this brought back quite some memories…

A refresher for some, new info perhaps for others…?

Clackers​

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

Clackers had a lot of fun nicknames: knockers, click-clacks, bangers, knocker bockers or knicker knackers. But by any name, these 1970s toys were dangerous as heck, especially if you got the original acrylic glass clackers that some kids were either strong enough or intent enough to shatter. It was enough to get the attention of the Society for Prevention of Blindness, who issued their own warning, before a 1973 Consumer Product Safety Commission arrived to deliver the country to the coddling culture that condemned toys like clackers (which are available today in safer wooden, plastic or metal varities) and birthed a generation of nervous parents today.
 
A very good example of today’s misused facts.

Actually I thought of Newton’s Cradle like this:

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, RN69! 😄 😄

I could not think of the name of it, and all that came to mind were the clackers so I posted on that.

I enjoyed both of those games in their day… " happy and wistful nostalgic sigh " 😄

I often have this problem. I wind up having to do the math in my head as there are many items where the product doesn’t give four servings…only one! 🤣🤣🤣
 
You’re welcome @SilentNyte! When my older sister and I talk we frequently comment that two senior brains recalling things get better results!! 😊
 
So simple, so innocuous looking… who knew! 😉

Yeah! They were fun…when you finally got them going right! 😂

Yes, getting them going was great, the thrill with a hint of fear , knowing that a “missed clack” was inevitable… lol

Great reminiscing! Thanks Pattylt! 😄 😄
 
I remember one set I had where the ball flew off the cord. I was very lucky I only put a small dent in the Sheetrock…there was a window nearby! 😬😬😬

I remember my dad mumbling something about never doing that in the house again as he got out the spackle!
